Judge Sandy -- ch 6
"Where is that bitch!" Czarina screamed as she stormed into Vlad's office at the strip club. She looked around the room, only seeing Maxim. She turned her attention back to Vlad. "I'm tired of waiting! I want that bitch now! Where is she?"
Vlad stood up and started walking around his desk. "Mama! I've told you this is going to take time. We will get her. We don't know where she went. None of our people in the police department know nothing about her whereabouts. And we've been watching her house for over two weeks now."
"What the fuck are we paying those worthless shits for if they can't provide us with the information we need, when we need it?!" She was still screaming, her rage in complete control of her.
Vlad grabbed her by her arms and held her for several seconds trying to calm her. Then he looked over at Maxim. "Get out! Go check the guys and see if they have any new updates." He watched Maxim leave the office, then turned his attention back to his mother. He spoke to her calmly and softly. "Your getting worked up isn't going to help you or the situation. We have talked with everyone who could possibly know where she might be. Apparently, whoever she's with has taken her into hiding and they've managed to keep their whereabouts unknown."
Czarina cupped the side of his face as she spoke softly, her rage still evident. "My sweet boy has gotten soft. I can think of two people who probably know where she's at, and would be glad to tell you with the right persuasion. Her parents."
Vlad's eyes lit up. "Mama! No! That's a bad idea! All that's going to do... " He didn't finish before being slapped across the face.
"Don't you ever question one of my orders again!" She growled at him in a seething rage. "Go to her parents house and find out what they know. After you're done, kill them!" She smiled. "I guarantee that will bring her out of hiding."
"Mama! Please!" Vlad tried to protest.
She slapped him again. "I am still head of this family. You will do as I tell you. If you weren't my son, I'd kill you where you stand for questioning me. Now get it done!" She turned and stormed out of the office, leaving Vlad standing there. The rage within him slowly rising.
He hated when she allowed her hatred and anger to take control of her. But he knew by the time he got home that evening, she'd be calm and in control, seducing him into her bed once again. This was a cycle he'd repeated hundreds of times. This morning she'd slapped him for questioning her. By the end of the evening she'd be the consummate lover, sucking his cock till she was ready for him to make love to her. She'd whisper how much she loved him, needed him and trusted him, as the only man in her life she could trust.
Vlad stepped outside his office and looked for Maxim, who hadn't left yet. "Forget checking in with the guys. I know there's nothing new to report. Pull them out of that house. We're going to pay the bitch's parents a visit." Maxim's eyes lit up, just as Vlad's did. Vlad held up his hand. "I know! A fucking stupid idea! We're going to have every cop in the State, not to mention the Feds, down our throats." He thought for a few seconds. "Or maybe not. We're going to make it look like a home invasion. We take our guns, just in case. But we only use knives. Silent and easily disposed of. Now go get the guys."
Brandon had every weapon in his little arsenal laid out on the front porch of the cabin. Sandy was taking them, one at a time, and demonstrating her proficiency in using them. After they were done with target practice for the day, they'd go inside and tear down each piece, clean it thoroughly, then put them back together in preparation for the next days practice.
The weather had turned warm for where they were at in Northern Wisconsin. Being the middle of October, Brandon was glad for that. He knew they were getting close to the winter months. The evenings were cool. But the days were reaching the low 70s.
He watched Sandy as she emptied the Ruger's clip into the target, wearing a tight fitting t-shirt and jeans. "Thank god for warm weather." He mumbled to himself, his eyes roaming up and down her body. The two had become like two horny teenagers, unable to keep their hands off each other. He knew she was in her prime, sexually, as a woman. But he began to wonder if he would be able to keep up with her.
Sandy turned, looking at Brandon for his approval, after she'd emptied the clip. Every bullet had hit the target. Not all of them in the kill zone. But enough.
He stepped up to her and took the gun out of her hand. "You're doing great. I'm proud of you."
Sandy's face lit up. "You are?" She asked smiling, sounding more like a little girl, than a forty-five-year-old woman.
Brandon laughed. This was becoming a ritual they would go through whenever he told her he was proud of her for learning the skills he was trying to teach her. "Yes, I am. Very proud of you. You're becoming much more proficient in handling a gun, but I can also tell you've become much more comfortable with them."
Sandy wrapped her arms around his waist as she smiled up at him. "That's because I have a great teacher. So, do I get my reward for doing well with today's lesson?" She asked giggling. "You want to keep me motivated, don't you?"
Brandon looked at her in disbelief at her insatiable appetite. "Do you ever get enough? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. You're starting to worry me that I'm not going to be able to keep up with you."
"First of all, my appetite is all your fault. You've created that hunger in me. You've given me a taste of something I've never had before. And I like it. I can't get enough of it. As far as you keeping up with me. Don't you worry about it, baby. I know how to keep you motivated." She giggled again. "You're staring at them."
"They do keep me motivated." He said laughing. "Now get your practice done. We'll drive into town later this afternoon. I want to call Tom and see what's going on, back in reality."
Sandy's whole demeanor changed at the mention of their situation back in the Chicago area. "Do we have to go back? Can't we just stay here? We could both get jobs and just stay here."
Brandon understood exactly where she was coming from. There was a huge appeal to staying where they were. But it wasn't real. "I want to stay up here with you so bad, I can taste it." He put the gun down on the small table next to them, then wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his body. "But this isn't real. And I don't want either of us looking over our shoulder the rest of our lives, wondering if they were still coming after us. Besides, this place doesn't belong to us. We can't stay here much longer. Especially if Charlie comes up to do some hunting. Season opens soon."
"I could sell my house and buy something up here." She tried to refute his argument, grabbing at straws to stay where they were. She had to face the real reason behind her desire to stay where they were. "Going back scares me more than anything I've ever been scared of before."
Brandon caressed her face, listening to her express her fears. "I don't want you to live in fear of anyone. Especially the Russians."
"It's not the Russians that scare me the most. It's the thought of losing you that scares me more than anything. I finally have the man I want to spend my life with. And now I'm terrified you're going to be taken from me."
He smiled at her, not responding immediately. He'd had too many girlfriends, wives and mothers plead with him to promise them their man would come back from a deployment or a specific mission. He never made that promise, knowing he couldn't keep it. "I plan on being around for a very long time. You need somebody to take care of you. You wouldn't last ten minutes out here."
She wrapped her hand around his neck and pulled his head down slightly as she stood on her toes to kiss him. The kiss lingered as their tongues played together, their bodies melting together. "I do need someone to take care of me. I can't believe I'm saying that. After my divorce I decided I didn't need anyone or anything. But I was just fooling myself. I do need someone. That someone is you." She paused as she caressed his face, tears forming in her eyes. "I don't think you know what you've done to me. You've invaded my life and conquered my heart."
Brandon smiled. "Mmmm! I like the military metaphor. Does that mean I can rape and pillage you?"
"Stop! I'm being serious now." She replied smiling.
"Sorry."
"But, yes. You can rape and pillage me as often as you want. But you've become so much more to me than just the sex. You're a man I respect. The way you carry yourself. You're not afraid to make decisions. There's a hardness about you. But you're always tender with me. You have a strength about you that I can't get enough of." She paused again. "That's why I'm terrified of losing you. I love you Brandon Tanner. The thought of you not being in my life scares me more than anything. It just leaves me feeling empty."
